GN_Skc, Skip character
Register parameters
RST 20H, DEFW $3209
IN: A = value to bypass HL = Sequense index: 0 => read from stream IX 1 => read from filter IX 2 = not allowed > 255 = read at (HL) IX = optional handle OUT, if call succeeded: HL(in) > 255: (HL) points to character which stopped scanning, else HL(in). OUT, if call failed: Fc = 1 Error code ???
Bugs
It is reported to be useless due to too many bugs. If (HL) < A then the error handler is called with A = (HL).
OOPS!!! Hence the routine bombs out when a character < A is passed to it in (HL). From stream IX it is even worse. It skips over the character correctly but (IX) < A or (IX) > A cause an error (always RC_QUIT!!!).
